This series of sermons holds a special place in my affections for Edwards for three reasons. First, in Munich, Germany, my wife and I read it aloud to each other in 1972. What a way to build a young marriage! Second, Edwards’s treatment of ‘Charity seeketh not her own’ profoundly shaped my emerging Christian Hedonism. Third, the last chapter, ‘Heaven Is a World of Love,’ is simply unsurpassed in its power to make me want to go there. I am unabashed in my love for Jonathan Edwards—and the grandeur of his God. May God give him an ever-wider voice.” - \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Piper\u003c\/strong\u003e, Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Twin Cities, Minnesota\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“This new edition of \u003cem\u003eCharity and Its Fruits\u003c\/em\u003e is a most welcomed addition to the growing library of books by and about the great Jonathan Edwards. For those who mistakenly think that Protestant theologians overemphasize faith at the expense of love, these classic sermons by Edwards will be an antidote to a stereotype. But even more important, this deep mining of 1 Corinthians 13 is a pathway into spiritual theology that will draw every believer closer to Christ.” - \u003cstrong\u003eTimothy George\u003c\/strong\u003e, Founding Dean, Beeson Divinity School; General Editor, Reformation Commentary on Scripture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crossway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52074386653482,"sku":"9781433529702","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/7746\/8458\/files\/Edwards_charity_and_fruits__90200.1344620463.1280.1280.jpg?v=1783982123","url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.org\/products\/charity-and-its-fruits-crossway","provider":"Reformation Heritage Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
